Abstract

For decades, developing countries have been putting more effort to overcome poverty. Tanzania is one of the countries that introduced the Conditional Cash Transfer Project that targeted households that were identified and verified as poor. The researcher, therefore, aimed to establish the extent to which the mediating Capacity Building influenced the relationship between combined households’ involvement in the Monitoring and Evaluation and performance of the Tanzania Conditional Cash Transfer Project. Due to the adoption of a pragmatic paradigm, the study applied cross-sectional and correlation research designs. The Yamane’s formula was used to obtain a sample of 400 respondents from the target population of 61,240 households. The questionnaires, key in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions were used to collect data. The findings established a significant influence between combined households’ involvement in Monitoring and Evaluation and the performance of the Tanzania Conditional Cash Transfer Project (t=1.212, p-value=>0.05). However, the addition of capacity building had no significant influence on the performance of the Tanzania Conditional Cash Transfer Project (t=1.212, p>0.05). Therefore, mediating Capacity Building had no significant influence on the relationship between households’ involvement in the Monitoring and Evaluation and performance of the Tanzania Conditional Cash Transfer Project. Therefore, it was recommended that implementers of the project should introduce a training and development plan for imparting skills to households’ representatives before engaging them in M&E plans. The skills attained from the training would enable households’ representatives to team up with M&E Department and participate in the technical aspects with maximum success.
